My IU BYLAC Album


Hey Hey! Another new blog post here~
A quick question here: "How is it going?" or "How it is going?"

I will provide the answer on the last part.
Reason for asking this? I'll tell you.


Recently, I've watched a little YouTube videos from SQ K-POP making unboxing videos of IU 5th Album : LILAC & also TWICE contents.  πŸ’🐒 

His introduction keeps replaying on my mind: "Hey there~ How itis / isit going?"
As the aftermath, I replicated his introduction for this post. πŸ˜ΆπŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ



Repetition: I bought myself IU's HILAC Photo Book from Carousell.

No more surprise. I bought myself IU 5th Album: LILAC (BYLAC Version) from Carousell too.
Since I was fallen into Kpop albums rabbit hole for the moment, I saw this listing. Quite a bargain though, because it included a folded poster woohoo~

As what people usually do, I asked for photos of the album's condition.
And here it is, with every edges of the album. 

              


Okay, here's the underlying fact:
Actually, I bought this 1st following with IU HILAC photo book. I was in dilemma, two-hearted if I should purchase a pricier HILAC version album or just cheaper option of BYLAC version?

πŸ˜› why can't I just move forward to important stuffs? πŸ˜›

Thanks to that "free postage" inclusion, I thoroughly think that I should take it after almost 2-3 days of consideration. Boomer me is too new at using bank transfer and debit thingy~


1) Initially used Bb/Ss/Nn account to debit money directly using Carousell payment method. And weirdly enough, technical issue happened + me being inexperienced is having anxiety so much. The responsible seller cancelled my payment & asked me to use transfer fund method.

2) Finally, I used Mm/Aa/Yy/Bb/Aa/Nn/Kk account (not mine) to transfer fund directly to the seller. Everything seems good in my eyes. Kokoro is in eased.


At first, the seller intended to use FMX but also due to technical issue (cannot deliver to my place 😒)
The seller had to use J&T Express (which I'm not foreign about it πŸ˜…)

The next day, two photos arrived from the seller to show me the airway bill number.
Seller ranted to me that the postage to Sabah is expensive. Tears be flowing the sea from Johor to Sabah HAHAHA [P/s: Thank you #cryforme]



Finally, on my hands right now!

Flat-lay shot of IU 5th Album : LILAC (BYLAC Version)


Just another flat-lay shot with IU's HILAC photo book.


Process of Waiting

21st April : Started to ask seller about BYLAC album.

22nd April : Act clever me used Bb/Ss/Nn account for the first time without any experience. Technical issue happened. Buyer cancelled my payment. Bringing my anxiety to the next day.

23rd April : Issued payment to seller via bank transfer fund in the morning. Received photos and messages telling me that buyer used J&T Express (instead FMX) to post parcel.

28th April : Received parcel safe & sound at home.



Answer:

So, I've checked out the answer.
The correct one is: "How is it going?" or "How's it going?"

Apparently, this phrase is an idiom that brings the same meaning as: "How are you?"

Some petty question I asked, right? But this is life, it's easy to neglect the littlest intricate things making us to create big problem, which is actually fundamental. Hmm~ now I started to talk big haha


Until then~ πŸ˜„✌

My IU HILAC Photo Book


Hello everyone! πŸ˜¬πŸ‘‹πŸΌ
First post in year 2021. New month, new resolution. I'm back again. Yeay~ πŸ₯³πŸŽŠ


I found this in Carousell... Feeling like wanna keep this for aesthetic collection heheheh~


It'll be my first ever experience to buy things inside Carousell...
I am so anxious that people will buy it since:

1) It was posted just one week ago. I scared many people will buy it since it's kinda like a super deal to realise that people sell loose K-Pop merchandises there.
2) Three people (including myself) have liked the post. Are the other two likers also keening to buy it?


I watched videos of people unboxing IU's 5th Album: LILAC. This album has 2 versions: HILAC & BYLAC.

Personally, I like BYLAC photo book more than HILAC version. But, I don't see any BYLAC photo book available for sell... So,, I just pick up what's on the market lahh~


The seller is from Sarawak (Kuching specifically)... Requested to quote price for delivery fee.


I intended to buy HILAC cover and also HILAC photo book from the same seller. But the seller said HILAC cover has minor defects.

The box : RM20 RM15
The book : RM37 RM35 (I don't request for that price, but that's the price seller gave me)
Delivery fee : RM11.65 (why? Kuching to Kota Kinabalu also that expensive πŸ”ͺπŸ’”)

To be honest, I don't really mind the dents on the HILAC cover. But it will cost RM61.65 liao~ The total price can buy around ¾ of the album price. πŸ˜­

It's a hard decision to take. I only take HILAC photo book. That would be RM46.65, plus additional RM1 for Carousell Protection fee.


The photo : I requested the seller to snap a photo of how it looked like to put both HILAC & BYLAC photo books inside a cover. It fitted perfectly, the seller said that I have a great idea there. *flushing face*

Please allow me to laugh for straight 10 seconds.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

                 

Process of Waiting:

21st April : Started to ask seller about HILAC cover & photo book.

23rd April : Issued payment to seller via GrabPay. (It really fully filled up my mind from day till night, same as others' upcoming purchases I had on the same day wow)

24th April : Parcel posted via J&T Express.

28th April : Received parcel safe & sound at home.
